More quotes by George S. Patton
I am sure that if every leader who goes into battle will promise himself that he will come out either a conqueror or a corpse, he is sure to win. There is no doubt of that. Defeat is not due to losses but to the destruction of the Soul of the leaders-the 'live to fight another day' doctrine.
George S. Patton
America loves a winner, and will not tolerate a loser, this is why America has never, and will never, lose a war.
George S. Patton
To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Muhammad and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing.
George S. Patton
There's only one way for a professional soldier to die. That's from the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.
George S. Patton
A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.
George S. Patton
Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.
George S. Patton
If a man does his best, what else is there?
George S. Patton
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
George S. Patton
Achievers are resolute in their goals and driven by determination. Discouragement is temporary, obstacles are overcome, and doubt is defeated, yielding to personal victory. You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals. Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
George S. Patton
Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.
George S. Patton
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
George S. Patton
Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.
George S. Patton
Pressure makes diamonds
George S. Patton
I am convinced that much more emphasis should be placed on history. The purpose of history is to learn how human beings react when exposed to the danger of wounds or death.
George S. Patton
...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.
George S. Patton
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
George S. Patton
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
George S. Patton
So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.
George S. Patton
Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
George S. Patton
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
George S. Patton
